How to listen to iTunes through two separate stereo systems simultaneouly?

I was thinking of buying two Airport Express units in order to run iTunes to two seperate stereo systems in two different rooms. Can this be done, or is there a better way to accomplish this?
thanks for any help!

Hi Pjo,
Yes, you can listen to iTunes through two separate stereo systems simultaneously. The current version of iTunes allows you to stream your music to multiple Airport Express units. At the bottom of iTunes, where the different Airport Express units' names are listed, there is a "Multiple Speakers..." option; select this to choose from one or more of your units.
Hope this helps.

How to listen to itunes through external speakers

I have Intempo IDS ipod speakers and want to know how to plug them into my laptop so i can listen to my itunes playlist through the speakers... I have read that there should be a box in the bottom right of the screen to select speakers but I do not have this and I do have the look for speakers box ticked in my preferences.
Any suggestions? what needs to be plugged in where?
any help would be much appreciated

I have read that there should be a box in the bottom right of the screen to select speakers but I do not have this and I do have the look for speakers box ticked in my preferences.
That is only for speakers connect to an Airport Express wireless system. There is no setting in iTunes to play through speakers connected to your computer. All you should have to do is plug them into your laptop's audio/headphone output.

All I want to be on is my PC and my amp connected thru ATV via optical linkl

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes there have been a number of reports posted about this, it seems different people experience different results here with some finding the same as you, some finding that it won't work at all with the TV turned off and some finding that if music is sent from iTunes on the mac/pc that as long as the TV is on when the stream starts, the TV can be turned off afterwards.
My assumption here is that it depends on the TV itself, although that probably doesn't help all that much.

Can you listen to iTunes on two computers at the same time?

If I've got iTunes playing on one computer, is it possible to listen on another computer on the same network what's playing on the first computer? I've often got two computers on the go over two floors and it would be smart if they were playing the same music at the same time. Thanks for your help.

Hi Andy, if you want to listen through remote speakers connected to an AirPort Express you can choose the remote speakers (or computer) from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window
However, to the best of my knowledge you can only listen to iTunes through one set of speakers at a time.

Wanting to connect an older G4 Powerbook running OS 10.4.11 to a Marantz SR4023 receiver amplifier with only RCA inputs to play iTunes through it on stereo speakers. Can anyone advise how to do this?

Wanting to connect an older G4 Powerbook running OS 10.4.11 to a Marantz SR4023 receiver amplifier with only RCA inputs to play iTunes through it on stereo speakers. Can anyone advise how to do this? Not tech savvy at all here, and will be happy with a simple hard wired connection. The Powerbook is old, and I no longer want to use it for anything but connecting iTunes radio, and my iTunes library to my stereo system.

Hi,
There were many PowerBook G4 models (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3065) with different ports (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2369).
If necessary, a manual can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#PowerBook%20G4
Generally speaking, the output of a headphone port can often be used for the connection to an amplifier. You would need an appropriate cable (typically, 3.5 mm stereo plug to two RCA plugs). Choose a suitable amplifier input (high level). Do verify the allowed amplifier input voltage levels and the impedance before you connect.

How can I link two separate Messenger systems?

From what I have read, the only way to message users from other Messenger systems is to use the Pidgin client which would require a second logon to the other Messenger system.

Hi,
Here's the link to all the documentation: https://www.novell.com/documentation...l_messenger22/
The installation guide (page 16, I think) explains the authentication requirements.

Two separate stereos, two separate airports, one song

With two separate stereos plugged into their own airports, am I able to use them so I can listen to the same music but without hard wiring one of the airports through my router? Is it something I have to set up via AirPlay somehow?? Thanks:)

Two separate speaker systems on one card (audigy 2

Is it at all possible to have two separate speaker systems (maybe even with different volume levels on windows) on the same card? I thought the card did that but it is not working for me.

basketcase590,
You can connect a separate set of analog stereo speakers to rear Lineout and Lineout2. Then in the EAX console, set CMSS3D to stereo surround. This will duplicate stereo output on both rear lineouts. You can affect the front-rear volume by adjusting the stereo focus.

I am using Windows 8 with iTunes. How do I manage iTunes with two different Windows User Accounts?

I have recently bought a laptop running Windows 8 and downloaded iTunes. I subscribe to iTunes Match and have a large amount of purchased music and imported CDs, along with some films purchased from iTunes.
I have downloaded all of the music and the films to the laptop using iTunes Match when logged in under my User Account in Windows 8. However, when we switch to my girlfriend's User Account, she can load up iTunes but all the music and films have the cloud symbol on them indicating that they need to be downloaded
Is is necessary to download everything to the computer twice (I can't really believe this is the answer) or are we missing something in terms of using iTunes with two different User Accounts?
Thank you.

Step 1
Create a new user account on your device. For Mac users, choose “System Preferences” from the Apple Menu and navigate to the “View” menu. Click on “Accounts” and select the “+” button to add a new user account to your machine. Edit the user information and grant any relevant privileges by following the on-screen prompts.
For Windows users, click on the Windows "Start" button, select “Control Panel” and choose “Add or Remove User Accounts.” A new window will open. Click “Create a New Account.” Name the account and set any relevant privileges by following the on-screen prompts.
Step 2
Sign in to the new user account you created.
Step 3
Open iTunes and click “Sign in.” Enter your Apple ID and password and log in.
Step 4
Download purchases through the iTunes store. All files related to these purchases are stored under the separate user account, thus separating both iTunes accounts and their libraries on the same computer.
Step 5
You can share music from both libraries by dragging your music library to a publicly accessible location on your computer. Click “Preferences” from the iTunes menu and deselect “Copy files to iTunes Media Library when adding to library file.” Add the shared folder to your library from the “File” menu.
Tip
Create more than one library from the same user account by deselecting “Copy files to iTunes Media Library when adding to library file” from the “Preferences” menu. Add the files you want to iTunes by dragging and dropping or by opening from the “File” menu and sync your device to that library. Quit iTunes after the sync and reopen iTunes while holding the "Shift" key in Windows or the "Option" key on a Mac.

How to listen to itunes radio at work?

Hi, can someone please help?!
I love listening to itunes radio but when I am at work for some reason it does not work.
I tried to research the subject but most of the posts are specific to a different problem or just mention something about proxies, but don't give detailed instructions.
I figure the problem is proxies since I am connected a network server and I have all the information and passwords needed, but I do not know how to fix this or where to fix this on my computer. The proxies that i have checked right now are the "web proxy" and "secure web proxy". i tried to turn both off and that didn't really seem to work either.
Please let me know what to do, and if that is not the problem please tell me what the problem is and how to fix it.
Thank You

Before you spend a lot of time spinning your wheels on this issue, I'd suggest you first talk to your company's IT department and ask if they're blocking access to streaming music sites. Many organizations do to prevent music streaming from hogging all their bandwidth.
If they tell you they're not blocking or throttling access, post back and we'll go from there.
Regards.

How do I play iTunes through my HiFi system ?

I'm new to Apple support communities having just bought my first Macbook Pro (a 17" 2.5GHz i7 model) and this is my very first iTunes post.
I’m a bit of a Hi-Fi enthusiast, so, with my new MacBook Pro I've taken the opportunity of completely reloading my iTunes library to disk in high quality Apple Lossless format. Took a while but now I've completed the task I’m really pleased I've done it.
My question is, what is the best way to connect a Macbook Pro to a high quality Hi-Fi preamp so I can play iTunes through my high quality Lounge HiFi system ? . . . my Hi-fi system is by Musical Fidelity, and the pre amp a Musical fidelity A5cr, this is a very expensive and good quality pre-amp, which has superb audio quality, but, only has analogue RCA phono inputs.
I'm guessing one option must be to use the MBP headphone output, either as an analogue or digital source, but I suspect its analogue headphone output will be totally incompatible with the RIAA requirement of the pre amp phono input ?
I’ve also read some comments about using digital connection – USB DAC’s appear to be an option but I don’t know anything about these or which models (available in the UK) are recommended – anyone got any experience ?
I've also read in an archived post here that MBP's have an optical output so maybe that could be used as the input to a DAC ? . .again any advice on which is the best way to go much appreciated ?
Apologies if this question has been asked lots of times before but I've looked through some previous posts and can't find any answers in simple and straightforward language concentrating on the issue of connecting a MacBook Pro to an analogue phono pre amp input ?
Thanks in anticipation of some advice.

Apple TV is the right solution for this.   I'm also a hifi fan who now has a giant itunes library in the cloud... and I wanted to play it through my hifi.
Get Apple TV for $99, and make sure you have an optical cable (avail at Walmart for maybe $10 I bet). You also need to buy an HDMI cable but it is beside the point for the hifi purpose.
Now my setup is Apple TV with optical out to my very decent (not ultra high end) AV receiver Denon 2802 - which gives me DA conversion AND bass managment.   This goes out to my high end integrated amp using RCA cables from the receiver to the integrated amp.    Now just calibrate the subwoofer using the AV receiver's bass management and I am VERY much in business. It sounds GREAT.
The receiver acts like a preamp (I keep my integrated with the dial at 12:00 most of the time... sort of like a stand alone power amp with a little gain left over... for TV this powers my fronts and the receiver powers the rest - works very fine).
Now if I want to be a little more purist about the whole thing, I might buy a separate outboard DAC to go between apple TV and my Integrated amp - cutting out the receiver.   I would cut down the signal path a bit.   But I would lose some bass management - I'd have to work harder to integrate my subwoofer using the subwoofer's dials which is tough...or else abandon the sub and play my speakers on large (which in my experience is never best... psychologically it seems best but it does not sound better if you are pretty good at dialing in your sub).
Anyway I probably lost you by talking on too long ... but in short - the Apple TV is perfect for this purpose - at least in my setup.   One of the best $99 I have ever spent.   My CD's are all ripped to itunes and are now nothing more than coasters. I sit in my chair - toggle to the assigned input on my receiver with the remote, use the receiver's remote for volume control, my macbook pro/iphone/ipad) to choose playlists, and enjoy pretty good hifi with my expensive integrated amp, sub and speakers.
Most of the time, my Apple TV has nothing to do with my TV... ironically. If I knew ATV would work this well for me I'd have been wiling to pay $250 for it.
Good luck.

Share an itunes between two separate accounts on the same macbook pro

My Partner and I share a macbook pro - we both have indidiual accounts.
Our itunes music is all showing on the iTunes in his account.
However, I log him out and then log into mine the iTunes is empty....
Is there a way that we can share the iTunes and the music purchased between our two accounts on our macbook without having to buy all the music again??
I am not very switched on with the syncing business and the only way I can see around it is to put all the music on a hard drive and then transfer it back onto my iTunes accounts - but I would consider that that method is a little outdated now?

To give other users read-only access to your library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
